چکیده

Variable-speed drives (VSDs) control the speed of machinery, pumps, mixers, fans and compressors to match the needs of the process. In many applications VSDs save so much energy that their economic payback time is only a matter of months. A new approach to the assessment of environmental impacts shows that the environmental payback time of VSDs can be even shorter, in many cases as little as one to two days.

Investigating the Welfare and Environmental Effects of Research and Development Subsidies and Energy Consumption Taxation to Reduce Air Pollution in Iran

Recently, sustainable development and policy on improving the quality of the environment have attracted economists. The use of fossil fuel tax and subsidies to research and development are among the tools that can reduce air pollution by creating economic incentives and relative price adjustments. In this regard, the present study uses a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to examine env...

Efficiency Improvement of Induction Motor using Fuzzy-Genetic Algorithm

In most industrial zones, electric energy is one of the most important energy sources. Since electrical motors are the main energy consumers of industrial factories, consumption optimization in these motors can be considered as a main option related to energy saving. One very effective way to reduce the consumption of these equipment is to use a motor speed controllers or drives. Since the loss...

An Intelligent Control Strategy in a Parallel Hybrid Vehicle

This paper presents a design procedure for an adaptive power management control strategy based on a driving cycle recognition algorithm. The design goal of the control strategy is to minimize fuel consumption and engine-out NOx, HC and CO emissions on a set of diversified driving schedules. Seven facility-specific drive cycles are considered to represent different driving scenarios. For each fa...
